Evans soars against Warriors, but Kings falter in OT

"This is the Tyreke Evans the Kings have hoped for all season.

The Evans who had spring in his step and would carry the offense most nights hasn't been on the floor much. Evans has been bothered by plantar fasciitis in his left foot most of the season.

Then Evans sprained his left ankle earlier this month. He has considered a laser procedure to deal with the plantar fasciitis, but has been able to play with the injury, missing one game all season because of it.

Evans looked a lot more like himself Friday night, scoring a career-high 35 points. But it wasn't enough as the Kings were outscored 10-0 to start overtime and lost, 119-112, to the Golden State Warriors on Friday night at Oracle Arena.

It was the Kings' second overtime game in a row. They lost to Portland in overtime Wednesday.

Evans gave the Kings a 101-99 lead on a jumper with 59 seconds left. But the Kings missed 3 of 6 free throws down the stretch.

Warriors guard Monta Ellis hit a jumper over Evans with 0.9 seconds left to tie the game at 104 and force overtime."
